Escape to Yoga

Team Athleta — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:14:33 +0000

by Courtney Rohan
For years getting to a yoga class was a trial I could not accomplish. I’d find more often than not, when I was done with cooking, cleaning and making sure my husband and son were content that classes had concluded. It was hard enough to get to my mat, now I had to figure out how to get past the myriad of things that tempted to deplete my energy so much that I could not practice being more of myself...

by Holly Brooks, Nordic Ski Coach
My days usually go something like this: Wake up, feed the cat, hug my husband and drink LOTS of coffee before packing and repacking for the day ahead of me. I usually train (myself) in the mornings, then change out of my sweaty sporty bra in a parking lot (when I hope no one is looking), race to my office for office work, then coach adult athletes at noon, change out of another sweaty sports bra at a red light...

Nature Shock

Tamara Jacobi — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:39:00 +0000

by Tamara Jacobi, Eco-Adventurer
I’m once again surrounded by all things green, blue and natural---I’ve returned to the Mexican pacific coastline that I love to re-open my jungle lodge for the season. However, for the first couple of days, I was overcome by a feeling of empty restlessness. This was a new sensation that I couldn’t quite identify. Why was I reacting this way? Then it hit me...

All you need is room to spread out and comfortable clothing. Now that you've had some time to get to know the Pilates One Hundred and are beginning to discover those abdominals (the "powerhouse") again, let's keep the ball rolling... Related Chi:

by Colleen Cannon, Women's Quest
The wisdom of nature, along with the Chinese philosophy I’ve studied very carefully, helped me become a world champion triathlete. The Women’s Quest retreats incorporate my practices for mind, body, and spirit. I’d love to have all of you join me one day, but until then I’ve developed this multi-part, seasonal “Chi Quest” especially for you... Related Chi:
